Past Conferences

This page lists information about past Bridges conferences. Each year includes a link to the main website for that year’s conference, which contains information about that year’s venue, speakers, events, program, and submission process. You will also find direct links to other archived information about that’s year’s conference, including papers, artworks, short films, poetry, post-conference reports, and contributed photo galleries.

Past Proceedings books can be purchased through MathArtFun. On that site, click on “Books”, then on “Bridges Conference”.

In some lucky years, Douglas Norton has performed at Informal Music Night. He typically prepares some piano music, substituting his own superb lyrics related to that year’s conference. We invite you to peruse his lyrics.
